Cagsawa Ruins is symbolic of close to danger, Mayon Volcano tour

The baroque church of Cagsawa was built by Franciscan friars during the
Hispanic occupation of the Philippines, to replace an earlier church
that had been burned down by Dutch pirates. It is symbolic of the
dangers of living in close proximity to the Mayon Volcano.

The
Cagsawa Ruins Park is now one of the most popular tourist destinations
in Albay province. The International Tourism Bourse, one of the world’s
top travel trade shows based in Berlin, has even recognized the site as
one of the places to visit in Asia.
